CURRIED HUMMUS

Steps:

• Crush or mince garlic ahead of time before adding other ingredients to the food processor so that the garlic is evenly distributed.
• Add all ingredients to your food processor and process until mixture has a smooth texture (about a minute). You may need to stop half-way through to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula so that larger chunks are pureed.
• With spatula, remove humus to your serving bowl and chill for two hours to set-up the flavors for maximum taste.
• Serve on toasted pita bread, as a vegetable dip or on top of your favorite crackers.

CURRIED HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place the currants in a small bowl of hot water to soak and plump up. Combine the chickpeas, water, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, curry powder, ginger, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and do a FASS check. Add a spritz of lemon if it needs a little extra zing.
• Before serving, drain the currants thoroughly and stir them into the hummus.
